Squaremeal Review of
Kazan

“Quite a find among the tourist dross at the back of Victoria”, Kazan is all about Ottoman opulence – antique lamps and silk cushions may have given way to sleek contemporary looks, but the soft glow from teardrop-shaped lights and the privacy afforded by ornate screens create a seductively romantic atmosphere. The kitchen shows its class with a mix of Turkish family favourites and Ottoman-style specialities – so expect numerous hot and cold appetisers (try the ‘drunken’ calamari marinated in vodka), plus ‘fire grills’ and specialities ranging from hunkar begendi (stewed spiced lamb on smoked aubergine relish) to monkfish and prawn kebabs with bulgur and salad. To finish, check out delights such as dark chocolate ‘pyramids’ with pistachio ice cream or apricots stuffed with clotted cream and walnuts. At lunchtime, there are speedy set menus and mezze feasts to share – perfect with an ice-cold Efes beer.

However, with Victoria station getting redeveloped at the moment and hot new venues such Kouzu opening, Belgravia and Pimlico are rising spots to watch on London’s culinary scene.

Kazan Kitchen is situated in the heart of Pimlico amongst an abundance of quirky thrift shops, healthy cafes and traditional pubs. A lovely area of South London and only a short walk from Victoria this is the perfect weekend spot for a bit of brunch and wander around the area, even on a miserable rainy Saturday in Feb!Brunch has become a fast favourite of mine to catch up with friends double date style as it doesn’t seem to be as hard to co-ordinate in everyone’s busy lives and means the lads can still get off in time to watch the football!
